A/N Ok, I've officially counted myself as amazing, this is the fastest and longest update I've ever done! So, enjoy although this one's kinda a filler... Sorry R&R Please! Cookies to those who do!
Cal sat on the stairs debating whether or not to even bother showing up to dinner even thought it was the first night. Her mind was made up for her when her petite frame was swept up in a bone crushing bear hug that could only be from a certain someone. "Ted…" She gasped out. "Can't breathe… Put me down…" She wheezed. Gently, he put her feet back on the ground with a sheepish "Oops…"
She grinned up at him. "It's fine, just don't make it a habit, kay?" She asked before shooting him a mishievous grin. She took off towards the Great Hall calling behind her "Hurry up brother dear, before I eat all the food."
He followed the sound of her laughter until he lost her when she quieted and sat down with some Hufflepuffs. She turned her hair a bottle blonde and into a wedge similar to Victoria Beckham.
"Scuse me, pardon me." She said before spotting Ted. She quickly slipped under the table and crawled on her hands and knees towards the opposite end. She giggle to herself when she saw Ted's feet come to an abrupt halt. She could just picture the confused look on his face.
Indeed, she knew her brother too well. He looked around disgruntled for a moment. During his scan of the large room, he caught the eye of Iris Frtels, a Ravenclaw he had been crushing on for a while now. He flashed her a smile and winked. She rolled her eyes and went back to eating.
In that time, the Hufflepuffs had caught on to why he was looking around, and began yelling at him to run to the other end of the table so that he could head off his sister.
But, alas, poor Ted didn't catch on until too late and saw a blonde that looked like his sister make a mad dash for the Gryffindor table.
Cal giggled madly as she sat slightly out of breath at the table. She greeted everyone close to her with a wave and changed it back to it's normal shoulder length chocolate brown layers. Just as she had been about to help herself to some food, she was scooted sideways and her brother's familiar blonde head was in her peripheral vision.
Smiling to herself, she silently charmed his plate to repel anything he tried to put on it. Nonchalantly she began helping herself to food, as did he. The second he tried to put mashed potatoes on his plate, they were violently bounced upward and came splatting back down all over everyone and everything within a five foot radius, except for Cal, she stayed nice and clean. Tip off! He looked at his plate confused before trying yet again to put food on his plate, and as before it was shot violently upwards. Cal giggled into her goblet of pumpkin juice. Evidentally, he heard.
He turned to her, his eyes frustrated, and yelled. "Cal what the fuck did you do to my goddamn plate?" Cal was finally able to straighten out her face long enough to reply innocently, "Why do you assume it was me instantly? It coulda been Jamsie!" She said motioning to the boy next to her. He put a hand on her shoulder. "Sorry Cal, but you're on your own for this one." She turned to Ted still with the puppy dog pout on her face, "I wouldn't do something like that with this face…" She said pointing to her face before cracking a smile.
She returned to her meal thinking she had won the battle. "Ca-al" Ted whined. "Take off whatever you did… I wanna eat!" He looked at her pointedly as she slumped her shoulders. Sullenly, she muttered "Fine." She took off the charm while eating and idly wondered when he'd realize it was off. A few moments later, he warily eyed his plate before dropping a minute piece of bread onto it.
Satisfied it wasn't going to hit him in the face, he loaded upp his plate. As he picked at his food, he thought of ways to get back at Cal. Suddenly, an idea hit him that only Teddy would think of… He just had to think of the right moment to use it.
Cal hoped Teddy wouldn't try to get her back too badly, so to take his mind off revenge, she asked him "Any girls caught your eye yet?" She asked curiously. Ted had a quick internal debate about whether or not to ignore her although if he ignored her, it'd be an instant tip off that he was plotting revenge, so he blurted without really thinking his reply through. "Well, there's that sexy Ravenclaw Iris, I hear she's single this year." He said as his embarassed blue eyes met her laughing green ones.
"Isn't that the girl you've been crushing on for a while now?" She asked knowing full well the answer was yes, she just had to embarrass him by making him say it out loud. There was a definite light pink tinge to his normally olive-toned complexion. "Yes." He muttered shortly. Cal giggle in response, "Then get to know her so you can ask her out!" She said in a 'duh' tone of voice. He shrugged and suddenly it was his eyes that were sparkling with mishcheif.
"So Cal, any guys caught your atterntion?" He asked poking her side. Secretly, she had a small crush on Scorpius, but she couldn't tell Ted that, he'd die or worse, he'd kill her! She shrugged and picked at her piece of chicken kieve like it was the most interesting thing on the planet. "Nope. All the guys I could date I've either already dated or you've scared away." She said raising an eyebrow at him. Instead of responding or listening for that matter, he had been charming her, so as a response he made jazz hands in her direction and said "Sha-bam!" Cal gave him a weird look before asking "What did you do, flamingo?" Then it dawned on her.
He had charmed her so that every sentence she she said ended in the word 'flamingo'. Cal shot him a dirty look before viciously stabbing random things on her plate. Teddy, wanting to play up the prank, asked "Hey Cally, what's my name?" Cal paused her mutilation of her chicken for a moment to think of how she could say his name without saying flamingo as part of it.
Finally, it came to her and with a sly smile in his direction, cooly she said "Your name is Theodore Remus Lupin and your last name is not… Flamingo." She said smiling and mentally patting herself on the back. Teddy looked at her triumphant expression grumpily. "Well, that's a bit of information I didn't know." He said as those in the nearby area gave a chorused "Oohh." Cal rolled her eyes. At that moment, dessert decided to arrive.
Quickly, Cal lunged for the chocolate eclairs and grabbed two. She looked at Teddy with a puppy dog expression she knew he couldn't resist and asked "Will you please take it off, flamingo?" Ted refused to look up because he knew that once he saw her face, he'd cave. He shook his head no and grabbed a slice of vanilla cake. Cal pouted before huffing. "Fine, but I'm not talking after this until you take it off, flamingo!" She said and took a bit of the chocolately goodness.
After a few moments, Teddy took off the charm and waited to see when she'd notice. Cal started on her second éclair and was halfway done when she grabbed a third for later. She had learned that it was bad to get detention for getting caught sneaking to the kitchens on the first night of school. Standing up she put the last little bit in her mouth and said "Thanks Teddy!" Before walking out of the Great Hall.
Once she had cleared the doors, a hand grabbed her arm and she gasped. The smell of Axe surronded her and she was pulled back against his body. Leaning down towards her ear, he murmured "Meet me in the dungeons later tonight." Before walking off, he didn't even bother to wait for a reply she'd been there. Cal was left to just nod dumbly at no one. With a small laugh she bounded up the stairs towards the common room, she had a date to get ready for!
